And, so are the hiking trails that litter the area.
Mom also says that Blogville is calling, and she wants to attempt another return.
She always has hopes that on this return, it's for forever. Blogville is such a wonderful, positive place and we both love it dearly.
But she says she knows herself and all her bad habits, and she doesn't want to go making me any false promises - Poodle At Playhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14387982642173643705noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541009187243342548.post-66214831021755087692017-03-15T10:00:00.000-04:002017-03-15T10:00:23.300-04:00Wordless Wednesday

Today Winter Storm Stella came to visit.
Snow covered me!
It started snowing around 10 last night, and continued on all day today until about 3 pm.We got nearly one-mini poodle high worth of snow.
Honey, you loved snow so if this is you...we miss you but enough with the snow already!

...to all our friends for the comments and love sent our way.
We can feel it, and it most definitely helps ease the pain and sadness we are feeling from the unexpected loss of our dearest friend Honey.
Mom isn't ready to share what happened, and she says she may never be so we apologize to Blogville for not sharing anything further.
What we do want everyone to know is that Poodle At Playhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14387982642173643705noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541009187243342548.post-750893828733101492017-03-08T18:02:00.000-05:002017-03-09T18:01:25.954-05:00Heavy-Hearted

You are forever near in heart.

Or so my mom was signing earlier as we were in the yard. I had no idea what she was going on about. I didn't see any signs.
Then she told me, "Wesley! Stop and look by your feet!"
I still really didn't see anything..except for maybe these weird little red nub things sticking out from the ground.
I looked at Mom and asked "These things?"
She excitedly told me "YES!"

Today is the day which we

Not a star in the sky, no

writing stories for children
which filled them with mirth.
He gave us The Lorax, The Grinch, and The Whos,
The Cat in that Hat, and Thing One and Thing Two!

...and the reason we're going to do that is so that I don't feel bad that my Chewy review is late! BOL
So today is February, got it?
Most definitely NOT March 1st, like the calendar claims.
So for this month of February mom chose a new tasty thing from Chewy for me and Honey to try. She saw it and, despite everything looking super fun or tasty, knew it was for us for this month.

Can't believe February is almost already gone. I mean, I know it's a short month and all but...wow!
Since my mom has once again been super slack, here's a small recap of all the nothing stuff that has been happening in our little world-bubble.
SNOW.
We had a bit of a winter storm that happened overnight from the 8th to the 9th.

Last week on Tuesday we told you about the bird feeders mom put up in the yard. At the end we sort of debated on Tuesday Tweets or Feather Friend Friday.We decided on Tuesday Tweets since the original post was Tuesday and well...why not just continue on from there?So here are some of the various birds that have come to entertain us eat at the feeders this past week.

Hey Honey, come here and look at this.
Or don't, I guess...that's ok too...
Mom put something new out in the yard!
Well...a few somethings, really.
Bird feeders...and they are really drawing a crowd!
One cedar seed feeder, one hanging finch feeder, and three types of suet feeders. Yeesh mom!
Look, there's a Juno and some friends hanging out on the seed feeder in the tree,

Hello Blogville!
Today is a very special day...it's Chewy review day! Being out from blogging for quite awhile, it's also been quite awhile since there's been a review for Mr. Chewy.
Not that the gloriousness of Chewy and all those wonderful people who work for the company had been forgotten about! Miss.

When Honey and I go out into the yard she turns into some kind of demanding beast.Add a little snow on the ground and oh boy...she won't let me be!
I do occasionally like to run around and play, but when outside I am more likely to just enjoy sniffing around the yard.
Honey is super persistent in her pestering requests to run around and play though.
